About Me

My name is Jacob Myers, and I am from Souderton PA. I decided to come to Penn State because it has one of the best engineering schools in the country, and I have always wanted to come here since I was a kid. Also I'm from Pennsylvania so it’s a little cheaper as well, which is always nice. Originally I was going to major in computer science, but after taking basically every computer science class in high school I decided against that. Then I figured I would major in astrophysics, because space is cool, physics is my favorite type of science, and my favorite scientist is Neil deGrasse Tyson. Although after realizing I would have to go to college for 4 more years and I would most likely just become a teacher for it, so I've also decided against that. Eventually I decided to do mechanical engineering because it was one of my top choices, and some people, like my brother, have influenced me towards it. I used to play football in high school, and I played right tackle, and nose guard. Eventually I had to stop because of a chronic knee injury. Some of my favorite hobbies are playing video games, fishing, hunting, and watching movies.
